Who cares?

A clowning workshop for doctors and people in health care

 

Clown improvisation, which derives from theatre improvisation and the art of the court jester, has been reported to heighten perceptual and emotional awareness, creativity and “knowledge in action”, self-acceptance and acceptance of others combined with a heightened degree of empathy and, overall, a profound and lasting sense of personal growth and development. It can sharpen the awareness of human interactions, reinforce previously learned communication skills- Empathy has been shown to enhance the doctor-patient/nurse-patient relationship and outcomes in terms of diagnostic accuracy,patient and doctor satisfaction and patient enablement.  Juggling the combined pressure of patient-centred practice and management of quality initiatives and changes in health service suggest there is a substantial risk of burn-out. Factors affecting this are complex but enhancing  emphatic skills can boost resilience. Clown improvisation can enhance a creative, patient-centred style of consulting and caring .

Together Dr. David Wheeler and Ms Angela Hopkins  invite you to the world of Clown-light days of fun, letting go and freeing up!

 

The group size is limited to 12.

Facilitators: David Wheeler and Angela Hopkins
